Moorit Software Releases iVeggieGarden: A Unique Mobile Vegetable Gardening App
Comprehensive, feature-rich app is now available on the App Store(SM)
BRIMFIELD, Mass., Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Moorit Software, LLC, has released version 1.1 of iVeggieGarden, a comprehensive, feature-rich vegetable gardening app for the iPhone® and iPod touch®. The app was designed and built on a small farm, to help vegetable gardeners of all experience levels get more out of their gardens. iVeggieGarden is available for purchase on the App Store(SM), the company announced today.
"iVeggieGarden is unique because we have a real passion for growing vegetables, and the app is based on our own firsthand experience.

"My husband and I have a small sustainable vegetable farm in Central Massachusetts, and we sell our produce at three local farmers' markets. I also work full-time as a software developer, so I've combined our farming expertise with my technical skills in developing this app."
Key features include a catalog of over 500 vegetable varieties; complete growing info for all vegetable types; planting dates by climate zone; pest and disease info including sustainable control tips; a shopping list; integrated online shopping for seeds; purchase tracking; garden planning; tracking of key dates, notes, and photos for each variety in your garden; a glossary; powerful filters, and more.
iVeggieGarden also has the advantage of being perfectly portable. You can bring it out into your garden and take notes and photos on the spot, bring it to your local garden center to help you decide on seed purchases, or take it on a flight and read about new varieties to grow.
iVeggieGarden has already seen sales across the US and in countries as diverse as South Africa, Australia, and Croatia. An iPad(TM)-optimized version and an Android version of the app are planned for later this year.

United States Government Mandates Transition to IPv6
Serious security threats may jeopardize the transition
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With the global pool of new, available IPv4 addresses set to run out in the coming weeks, government agencies are working hard to meet stringent deadlines set by Obama's Chief Information Officer. At the same time, agencies are grappling with how to protect networks and information from existing and future IPv6 cyber threats.
"There is a new sense of urgency by our clients as we help agencies accelerate their IPv6 planning, design, and implementation," said Command Information EVP for Cyber Security Lisa Donnan. "But moving to IPv6 isn't enough. Networks must add layers of defense to their security infrastructure to address specific IPv6 threats."
The Obama Administration has mandated that by 2012, all public facing servers and services must use native IPv6 and by 2014 all internal applications that communicate with public Internet servers must also transition. Additionally each agency is required to designate an IPv6 Transition Manager to ensure agency procurements of networked IT comply with FAR requirements.
The number of IPv6 vulnerabilities that traditional hardware and software assurance vendors can detect is limited because there are significant differences between IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Attackers are actively using IPv6 to tunnel into networks because traffic traversing through IPv6 transition mechanisms is undetectable by today's firewalls and routers. Even if IPv6 is not enabled on the network, many of these security concerns still exist.
To help agencies securely meet these IPV6 mandates, Command Information has designed and deployed tools, consulting and training to ensure government and commercial providers are able to successfully navigate this transition. In addition to offering Security Bootcamps and technical implementation methodologies, Command Information has deployed Assure6((TM)), a cyber-security tool that helps agencies manage enterprise-wide policy of IPv6.
About Command Information
A trusted partner to federal agencies and global companies for 18 years, Command Information is the premier provider of cyber security and enterprise transportation services and solutions. Command Information and AnviCom Inc., its government-focused subsidiary, provide technology, objective consulting, and engineering to leverage next generation Internet applications and services.

The New Wolfhound-PRO Contraband Cell Phone Detector to be 'Unleashed' at the American Correctional Association Winter Conference
Wolfhound-PRO's patent pending multi-frequency design offers an integrated device for both US and European markets
METUCHEN, N.J., and SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. (BVS), a leading provider of advanced wireless solutions and products to the domestic and international wireless telecommunications and security markets today announced that its PRO series handheld cell phone detector called the Wolfhound(TM)-PRO will be introduced at the American Correctional Association Winter Conference in San Antonio. The Wolfhound-PRO is the third in a line of BVS' advanced, award winning cell phone detection products and the most advanced in terms of sensitivity and features.
The Wolfhound-PRO alerts security and correctional professionals to nearby cell phone activity with a bright OLED screen and integrated vibration notification. The device runs on an internal Li-ION rechargeable power system for up to 4+ hours enabling security personnel to continuously scan for all cellular voice, text or data transmissions. The intuitive one-button illuminated trackball allows for simple operation.
Wolfhound-PRO can also be used in countries with a mixed set of frequencies, where US and EU frequencies are used in different geographic locations. Coupled with the Wolfhound-PRO is a multi-band DF (Direction Finding) Antenna that makes the unit the ideal tool for pin pointing the targeted cell phone.
Wolfhound-PRO Technical Specifications and Features
-- Receiver design boasts a dynamic range of -60 dB with user settable
sensitivity
-- Default sensitivity is set at -80dBm; user selectable up to -50dBm with
a resolution of 2dB for detection in a noisy environment (typical of
prisons)
-- Selectivity rejection of at least 50 dB at 1 MHz from the uplink
frequency bands provides high immunity from false triggering caused by
base stations, personal communication devices and other sources of
interference
-- Integrated logging capability with built-in nonvolatile memory and real
time clock allows the user to record and time-stamp the beginning and
the end of each detected cell phone transmission
-- A standard USB port for internal storage is provided to download the
records to a PC for further analysis
-- The user selectable mobile frequency bands allow the same unit to be
used around the world; both USA and European mobile uplink bands are
supported
The Wolfhound-PRO is the latest device in a family of cell phone detection products from BVS. The original Wolfhound was released in December of 2009 followed by the Wolfhound-LITE in June of last year. Combined, the devices are in use in hundreds of correctional facilities in both US and international locations.
With an estimated 5 Billion mobile phones around the globe it is no wonder they are showing up everywhere and often times used for conducting criminal activity. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the use of contraband cell phones by inmates has risen as the U.S. prison population continues to expand.
For example, California correctional officers seized approximately 6,000 cell phones in the State's prisons and camps through July of last year. Maryland and other states have also seen a rise in the number of confiscated cell phones in their state prisons. In the past three years Maryland's Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services has recovered over 3,600 cell phones; and In Mississippi nearly 2,000 contraband phones were confiscated during the first half of 2010. Both Florida and New Jersey have passed laws making possession of contraband cell phones a felony rather than just a misdemeanor and Maryland is considering the same type of legislation.
In order to address this growing problem, the Wolfhound-PRO is designed to detect and locate contraband cell phones without using jamming technology that can interfere with authorized communication channels or 911 emergency calls. In fact, jamming is a violation of FCC rules and the CTIA, a leading wireless industry association, is on record as opposing jamming. Other solutions may require an entire network infrastructure of wireless sensors hard-wired throughout a facility that can be expensive and difficult to deploy. And canines can cost up to $10,000 each to train and maintain.
"General purpose cell phone detectors on the market today that typically originate from Asia do not work well as they are wideband and do not filter out unwanted signals. The Wolfhound-PRO on the other hand has sharp filters for the US/European cell phone bands and thus filters out the interfering signals. The high speed patent-pending receiver has a unique 'detection' algorithm that allows for quick detection and location of contraband cell phones," said Scott Schober, President and CEO of Berkeley Varitronics Systems. "Correctional institutions, federal facilities, courts, financial Institutions, and any organization looking to enforce a NO CELL PHONE policy will come to depend on the Wolfhound-PRO. Who says you cannot 'teach an old dog new tricks,'" adds Schober.
The Wolfhound-PRO is being 'unleashed' at the American Correctional Association at the Gonzalez Convention Center San Antonio, TX, Jan 28-Feb 1, Booth 406.

Allot Launches Service Gateway Sigma E for LTE(TM) Networks, Propelling the Industry to 160 Gbps Throughput
SG-Sigma E offers a growing portfolio of intelligent services integrated within the Policy Control & Charging framework
BOSTON, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Allot Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq: ALLT), a leading supplier of service optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile broadband service providers worldwide, announced today the launch of Allot Service Gateway Sigma E (SG-Sigma E). Boasting 160 Gbps of throughput and supporting 8 million subscribers on a single platform, SG-Sigma E is designed to meet the high-speed and extreme performance requirements of 4G/LTE(TM) and fixed-mobile converged networks, enabling operators to enhance the user experience whilst generating revenue from over-the-top (OTT) applications. SG-Sigma E will be on display for the first time during Mobile World Congress from 14-17 February, hall 2, booth B53.
Allot SG-Sigma E is the only service gateway platform of its kind to deliver extreme performance of up to 1 Terabit per second in a clustered configuration. Acting as a nerve center in the network, the platform enables operators to expand their role in the Internet value chain by providing vital information on applications, subscribers and network topology.

SG-Sigma E is also designed to reduce deployment complexity, time-to-market and TCO for the operator, by enabling in-platform deployment of Allot or third party network and subscriber services such as video optimization, advanced media caching and DoS/DDoS protection.
"With the huge amount of traffic expected on LTE(TM) networks, operators must put in place solutions that will enable them to manage the oncoming torrent of data," said Shira Levine, directing analyst for next gen OSS and policy at Infonetics Research. "For the mobile Internet market to continue its exponential growth, those solutions need to be specifically designed to provide the performance and intelligence required to maximize network efficiency, enable smart charging and deliver next-generation services that will open up new revenue streams to operators."
"LTE(TM) signifies the next big step forward for mobile Internet. It represents a huge opportunity for operators to improve the way they deliver Internet to subscribers in terms of throughput, the services that they offer and how they charge for it," said Rami Hadar, Allot's President and CEO. "SG-Sigma E is designed to do exactly that."
The highly scalable SG-Sigma E architecture enables pay-as-you-grow deployment, allowing operators to upgrade capacity and add services at any time. SG-Sigma E is based on AdvancedTCA® standards, 3GPP(TM) fully-compliant and engineered to meet the NEBS design guidelines.
Allot Communications pioneered the concept of a carrier-class platform for intelligent network management and integrated services in 2007 with the launch of Service Gateway Omega. SG-Sigma E is the third generation of this vision.

ComponentOne Introduces a Collection of jQuery UI Widgets
Built on jQuery UI, Each Widget is Fully Themed and Theme-able
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the power of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, ComponentOne, a leader in software development, has unveiled a tool for building Rich Internet Applications with these technologies. This new tool is called Wijmo.
jQuery and jQuery UI are the de facto JavaScript libraries and have been embraced by developers worldwide. Wijmo extends the standard jQuery UI suite with additional features and entirely new widgets for creating interactive Web sites and applications.
Chris Bannon, product manager at ComponentOne, said, "Wijmo was born out of necessity - we needed it!" He added, "When we wanted to completely rebuild our ASP.NET tools, we looked to jQuery UI as our client-side framework. It was perfect for what we wanted: a powerful, yet lightweight framework for JavaScript UI components. There was only one problem with committing to using it: the lack of UI widgets. Since we embraced jQuery and jQuery UI, we decided to build on top of them, using their frameworks and guidelines. We have also looked to technology like SVG to build interactive charts without requiring any plugins. Wijmo is a tool for building the future of the Web."
Wijmo is split into two kits, Wijmo CompleteandWijmo Open. Wijmo Complete is a commercial kit filled with powerful application building widgets like charts and grids. Wijmo Open is completely free and open source under the MIT/GPL licenses and includes a variety of UI widgets, such as menus, calendars, and list boxes.
Richard D. Worth, jQuery UI release manager and UI developer, stated, "We are really excited that ComponentOne, a company that has so much experience building commercial and enterprise-level components, chose the jQuery UI widget factory as a foundation. We are thrilled to have this donation and collaboration with Wijmo."
A key feature of Wijmo is its ease of use. Bannon commented, "The interactive charting inside Wijmo is as easy to use as Microsoft Excel." Interactivity is key for Web design. Bannon went on to say, "Unlike most charts that use plugins, Wijmo's charting is powered by SVG and works everywhere, including iPhone devices. What is amazing is how I can turn any HTML table into a chart to visualize the data."
Wijmo is attracting many followers, and it was featured this past October in the jQuery conference keynote in Boston. The following month, it was highlighted in a start-up discussion at the Future of Web Design conference.
Wijmo features a demonstration site loaded with interactive samples and documentation to help novice to advanced users get started with Wijmo.
Availability
The company offers purchase options online at http://wijmo.com or by email at sales@wijmo.com.
About Wijmo
Wijmo provides a set of jQuery widgets for creating interactive Web sites and apps.

Flash Networks Launches Cell-Based Data Optimization
Adaptive optimization based on precise traffic loads improves user experience while limiting the need for radio expansions
HERZLIA, Israel, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Flash Networks, a leading global provider of intelligent mobile Internet solutions, announced today the introduction of Cell-Based Data Optimization, a more precise way to apply optimization techniques on mobile data networks to alleviate radio and backhaul congestion. Cell-Based Data Optimization capabilities enable mobile operators to apply the most relevant optimization technique for each cell, limiting the need for frequent radio expansions, while improving the user experience.
With huge data growth being experienced today, and the availability of more and more sophisticated devices using bandwidth-hungry applications, cell congestion is becoming a greater problem for operators. Existing optimization solutions can ensure a positive user browsing experience while providing efficient utilization of network resources. However, many of these solutions apply the same optimization techniques to the whole network, without the ability to adjust the level of optimization based on the precise load.
Cell-Based Data Optimization uses dynamic policies to ensure the most relevant optimization technique is applied to each cell based on precise traffic patterns such as busy hours or increased activity due to sporting events or concerts. By varying the level of optimization, the network is used more efficiently while ensuring the best possible user experience for all subscribers, for example providing smoother viewing of YouTube video on mobile phones with fewer interruptions and less buffering.
Cell-Based Data Optimization is part of the Harmony Mobile Internet Services Gateway which enables operators to enhance user quality of experience, reduce operational expenses, and manage and monetize access to the open Internet by applying best-in-class services to mobile data traffic.
"Adaptive optimization enables operators to offer mobile broadband service with the best possible user experience, while dramatically reducing the load on the radio and backhaul," said Merav Bahat, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "We are committed to being at the forefront of optimization solutions that provide operators with optimal efficiency and subscribers with a superior user experience."
About Flash Networks
Flash Networks is a global provider of intelligent mobile Internet solutions that enable operators to improve quality of experience, reduce network operational expenses, and manage and monetize the mobile Internet. Providing a faster, safer, richer, and more personalized user experience, Flash Networks' Harmony Mobile Internet Services Gateway helps operators achieve significant cost savings through intelligent data traffic optimization, and applies intelligent policies for targeted marketing and charging. With offices in Europe, Asia, and North America, Flash Networks' installed base of top-tier mobile carriers includes O2, Orange, SingTel Group, T-Mobile, Telefonica, and Wind.

360networks Launches Layer 2 Ethernet (L2E) Service
New service provides customers with a cost effective, scalable alternative to traditional private line service
SEATTLE, Jan. 25, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- 360networks, a facilities-based wholesale provider of Private Line Transport, Ethernet, IP, VoIP and Local Access services, today announced availability of its Layer 2 Ethernet (L2E) service.
L2E is a Carrier Ethernet service providing scalable Layer 2 connectivity between major carrier hotels, data centers, Internet Exchanges, and Ethernet Exchanges throughout the region. This service enables customers to decrease network complexity and improve and optimize capacity while reducing costs.
"IP traffic is expected to quadruple in four years," said Rick Coma, 360networks' senior vice president. "We designed the L2E service to support this growth by enabling customers to quickly and cost effectively scale bandwidth and access major data distribution points and other carrier neutral meet me points. L2E eliminates the complexity of building and managing a private network by providing a fully managed diverse protected transport solution."
360networks developed L2E for Internet Service providers (ISPs), cloud infrastructure and storage providers, co-location providers, content providers, content distribution networks, VoIP service providers, wireless carriers, CLECs, cable MSOs, and others needing access to a high performance, purpose-built Layer 2 network. Owned and operated by 360networks, this Layer 2 network provides a level of reliability and control not available from shared network configurations, and is fully mesh-protected for ubiquitous connectivity across 360networks' entire 18,000 route mile footprint. L2E eliminates the mileage associated with traditional private line services. As a port-based service, customers pay a monthly recurring charge per port and can connect multiple locations in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configuration.
"We are addressing the industry's continued demand for IP services and simplified connectivity by implementing this network. Reliability and scalability are at the foundation of our network - purpose built, carrier-grade and capable of supporting the ever-expanding suite of advanced IP services," said Brady Adams, 360networks' chief technology officer. "As L2E demonstrates, we have designed and built a more efficient next generation network that provides customers with wholesale solutions to improve performance and reduce costs."

eCareSoft Launches Comprehensive EHR for Small & Medium Hospitals
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- eCareSoft recently launched eCS Inpatient EHR V1.2 (eCS), the first advanced electronic health records (EHR) solution for small and medium hospitals. eCS's uniqueness is the tight linkage of electronic health records, clinical and financial management systems into a single web-based software solution. The solution is offered as an SaaS model resulting in reduced costs and simplified deployment.
"eCS is an affordable solution for fast-tracking a hospital's path to achieving 'meaningful use,' but more importantly it's a smart, long-term healthcare IT solution," stated Jorge Camargo, CEO of eCareSoft. "Until eCS, small hospitals with limited resources had few options, forcing them to work with disparate software products from multiple vendors," added Camargo. "eCS finally levels the playing field with a secure, single solution for EHR, clinical and financial management, designed especially for small and medium hospitals," concluded Camargo.
eCareSoft's parent company, Expert Sistemas Computacionales, has spent the past 15 years designing large hospital IT systems capable of handling complex, multi-specialty environments. This experience has afforded eCareSoft the insight and knowledge to design a robust system for small hospitals with similar functional requirements, but without the high cost of traditional client/server applications and the team of IT programmers to maintain them.
eCS is built on a scalable, highly-secure repository of historical and ongoing patient health data. The solution's integrated linkage among hospitals and their affiliated networks offers clinicians improved clinical decision support and administrators a micro-detailed view of revenue/cost centers by service and facility.
eCS is a ONC-ATCB certified EHR solution, making it an attractive solution for hospitals looking to achieve "meaningful use" in order to qualify for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus funds, which could amount to as much as $3.5 million for small hospitals of approximately 75 beds.
About eCareSoft
eCareSoft is the US affiliate of Expert Sistemas Computacionales, S.A. de C.V., the largest provider of healthcare IT solutions in Mexico with 40% market share. eCareSoft provides hospitals and affiliates with a totally-integrated EHR, inpatient clinical and financial management solution to quickly and affordably fulfill their Meaningful-Use objectives.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Glu Mobile Inc., a leading global publisher of social games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced that it will be launching its leading social mobile game, Gun Bros, on Facebook, Wild Tangent and hi5. In less than three months from its original release, Gun Bros has demonstrated the potential of social mobile gaming with nearly 4.5 million downloads. Gun Bros fans will be able to play the twin-stick shooter on Facebook, Wild Tangent and hi5 starting this week.
"Gun Bros has redefined social mobile gaming by innovating in the top-down shooter genre. One of the industry's most influential and commercially successful titles, Gun Bros is a natural for the "big" screen of PCs," said Niccolo de Masi, CEO of Glu.
Glu's offering of Gun Bros to an online audience extends the company's monetization strategy - based on microtransactions, in-game advertising, and offers.
Glu's move to online responds to the demand from gamers to take their Gun Bros experience to additional social channels, bringing the game to a wider audience and building a bigger army of "Bros." Players have been hooked by the over-the-top guns, deadly cyborg enemies, humor, and ability to invite their friends (and Bros!) on adrenaline pumping missions.
Glu's Gun Bros will bring high-definition graphics, exciting special effects and action-packed gameplay to gamers worldwide on Facebook, Wild Tangent, and hi5 this week.
